Ordination of Pastoks—:l nteuestingSek tioes. —The Second Presbyterian . Church (0. S.)pf this place was the scone,of a most interesting service on Wednesday, the -13th just. This was the day. appointed .by the Presbytery.ot Carlisle for the ordination and installation of Rev. John 0. Bliss as Pastor of this church, where he has, been preaching since last fall. • Accordingly, at 10, A. M. : the Presbytery ..entered upon the solemn ser vices..' The venerable Dr. CaEicri of Moroors burgb, presided) putting the usual questions to pastor'and people ; Rev. Samuel J. Wil son, D. D;; Prof. ofEcol. History in the West ern Th.eologicalSeminary, preached a forcible and striking discourse on Uo's. 2 : 21.22. Rev. Isaac N. Hays, of tbo Middle Spring chnrob, gave the 'charge to the paster, and the Rev. W. C. Catell of Harrisburg, that to tho people, .The interest of the occasion was enhanced by the ordination, at the same time, of the Rev. Wii; C. Stitt, .who has ac cepted a cal! to thechurch in Hagerstown, Md. The sight of these two young men kneeling together before tho pulpit, while the Presby tery gathered around them, and; placing their hands upon- their heads, solemnly set them apart to tho work of tho ministry, was ono of great impressivness. After the bene diction was pronounced, Mr. Bliss received the greetings ot the congregation. Judging from the hearty hand-shaking he received ■ from all, both old and young, these evinced 1 a sincere and delightful cordiality in their 1 welcome of, him as pastor. Altogether the 1 occasion was one not soon to he forgotten. ■ ' Democratic Club of Carlisle. —The fol lowing ate tlio officers of tlio Democratic Club of Carlisle: President—Andrew Kerr.

Looks 'Fine.—With a few exceptions the grain fields in this section present a promis ing appearance. [Cw’ The’flowors, leaves and blossoms have sprung forth with marvellous rapidity during the present week. 0“ The 130th Regiment ( nine months men,) is now at Harrisburg, waiting to he pnidpflf and .mustered out of service. Spring Clothing,—Livingston, North Hanover Street, is fully prepared for an im menss-Epring business. Tho largest stock of seasonaWe, fashionable and stylish cloth ing for gentlemen, hoys and children, ever offered in thru town, will be found at this ex tensive establishment. In every particular the present stock of this popular clothing house may safely challenge the criticism ol purchasers. Tho beat goods of foreign and domestic manufacture aro.mado up by Liv ingston, and none but tho'best workmen are employed by him. Wo therefore hazard nothing in saying that no better.goods and no cheaper can be bought in Carlisle, than at Livingston’s, North Hanover Street. 'Original Disdn’ionxsts.— On tlio Isl of February, 1850, a petition was presented in lh° U. S. Senate praying for a dissolution of the Union. But three Senators voted for it, v.A : Messrs. Chase. Hale and Seward. Two Of these men are in the present Wash button Cabinet, nnd the third is still in, the Senate nnd is the right hand man for the administra tion, and talksflippantly on the subjeetot" loy alty." Is it not a strange fact that every jnan who for twenty Or thirty years has fa vored a dissolution of the Union is now a great pet with the Washington dynasty 1 “ Straws show which way the wind blows." #gy-To lovo your country, it does not fol low that you must love u,nigger., * /‘UNCONDITIONAL LOYALTY,” lu reading the resolutions adopted by tbo various meetings of pur, unprincipled, politi eal opponents, wo always find ono advoca ting “ unconditional loyalty tp tlio Govern ment.” -Mr.. Wendel Phillies holds his Abolition carousals in New York,, and after spitting forth tho most unadulterated treason : —after sneering at tho laws and tii'o Consti tution, and toasting that ho lias been “ work ing for twenty-fivo years to effect a dissolu tion of the Union,” his mooting adopts a resolution pledging “ unconditional loyally to tho Government.” Tho small fry of tho same party—the “ loyal Leagues” of country towns, like Carlisle, follow tho example of their great leaders, PmLnrs, Beecuer and. Mrs. Lucretia Mott, and ro echo in their resolutions, uncondition loyalty to tho Gov ernment. ” What they mean by “ uncondi tional loyalty” is a blind submission to every act of tho administration—approval of tho Emancipation the purchase of .slaves with tho people’s money, the arming of negroes, tho .suspension of tho writ of habeas corpus, negro equality, tho arrest and imprisonment of-men whoso only crime has been a strict adherence to the laws and the Constitution. These things—these outrages —are what wo are asked to approve ; this is the “ unconditional. loyalty” that is re quired., This is Jlist tho kind of “ loyalty” that Democrats spurn' ; and Mr.- Lincoln and, his‘minions who make the demand are very ignorant of American charactei- if they,sup l pose tho,people can. bo .either frightened or coaxed into an endorsement of'the' outrages we have enumerated. ‘^SoNCVji It is ■ a burning ■ shame that tho re bellion has not been throttled and crushed long ago.- Wo have been at war now fir over'two years, and every field of battle is pregnant with the bodies of the slain, and yet wo see no prospect of peace, and no bright hopes for, the future, and why? Be cause of the mad, reckless and absurd policy adopted by tho Administration and its Ab olition friends. Had tho Administration adhered to the text—had tho President made :ho restoration of the Union Ihc object of tho war, we believe the con test'would have been at an end long since) with a united Union as tho result. But, no ;■ the President, against his' own judgment, yielded to -the Abolition “ pressure,” and adopted the extreme meas ures again°t slavery that sucji crazy-men as Philips, Beechbu,., Jim. L.vnf, and Sumner ’dictated. They assured the President that a compliance with their demands would aug ment the army—that tho streets and lanes of Now England would “swarm” with anxious thousands ready- to join tho army'. What . was the result ? No sooner had the President agreed to yield his, own judgment and adopt tho Abolition programme out out for him, than enlistments stopped ; scarcely a man volunteered his services to the Government after the extreme measures had teen adopted. Greeley’s “000,000” men wore not to be found, and Gov. Andrews’ “swarms” have never been heard from, and now drafliuy is tho order of the day. These extreme meas ures have ruined our cause, and have strengthened the enemy. Every man of sense knows this, and yet wo who deprecate these" measures and’thc fanatics who sugges ted them, are asked to approve th’eni, if we desire to bo considered “ unconditionally loyal.” Vcver, never ! The Herald and Carl Sciiurz. —The Herald makes an effort in its last to prop up tho military reputation of Carl Schcaz, and in doing so introduces a kind of introductory fjr the purpose of making it appear that wo were actuated by personal ill-will when we ■exposed the-manner in which Sciiurz’divis ion acted in front of tho enemy. There is scarcely a semblance, of truth in the Herald's introductory, but this does not surprise us, for the writers lor that delectable sheet would be seized with convulsions if they, in mistake, even attempted to utter a truthful sentiment. The Herald, in speaking of Schurz, calls him “ a brave and accomplished soldier,” and to prove that tho men of his division did nut break and run as soon as they were confron ted by tlie rebels, a letter is published signed by .0.- 0. Howard,' ’“Major-General of tho 11th army corps, in which an effort is made to screen Schurz. Now,lie it remembered that if was this 11th Army Corps, commanded by Howard, (to which Corps Sciiurz’ , Division belongs,) that “broke and ran .pell-moil," (wo quote from the New York Tribune.]— IVe tin ik, therefore, that Howard is nfit a very competent witness. It is notorioua that tins Corps did run, and it is also notorious that it was the Division commanded by Scudrz that first gave way. Gen. Hooker, in making up the causes of his defeat, men tions the defection of the 11th Army Corps (Howard’s) as having contributed tu it. The President says tlie same tiling ; nil the cor- respondents lur tlie city, papers concur in tlie statement,-and the New York Post— good Abolition authority—demands the removal of botli Howard nnd Sciiurz. Are these men (President Linci in and others,) ami these papers all falsifiers, or is it tho Herald that is guilty of “a brace of lies” when it attempts to screen Sciiurz, ami speaks of him as a “ brave and accomplished soldier 1” Let the reader decide.. Wo feel no desire to asperse the character Of any officer in the field who performs his duty. We aro ns ready to praise Sciiurz rs we are to condemn him. But, tho appoint ing of mere politicians to high military po sitions has, demoralized Iho army, and caused tho loss of many battles and thousands of valuable jiies. It is timo tho “weeding” process should apply to them. Sciiurz. is no soldier—uover was, and never will be, Butinsi Plead Guilty.— Wo clip tho fol lowing from the report of tlie Dauphin coun ty Court proceedings given in tho Patriot <£• Union. 'Commonwealth vs. William Brohst, of Senatorial bribery notoriety. Our readers will recollect that Brohst was charged with •grossly insulting Mrs, Kate Davis and other respectable ladies of this city on the street. After the iinding of a true bill by the grand jury, the counsel for.Brohst induced him to wwn ?

DEMOCRATS OP TUB TOWNSHIPS* Hold mootings —moot together frequently —organize thoroughly—countyour men—talk to those who are undecided—distribute Demo cratic papers and documents, and do.all you enn to enlighten tho people. Tho following suggestions which wo take from tho Colum bus (Ohio) Crisis, should bo heeded by every Democrat and lover of his country : “Friends in»tho cause of constitutional liberty and the freedom of tho white,man, in tho political divisions called townships, or in soum States towns, do not now—your spring elections are past, and in so many of these townships gloriously passed—suffer your selves to bo disbanded or disorganized. Vour vv.ork in the defense of your dear-bought rights, guarded by constitutional law, is only fairly begun. You have yet a greater work before you, and let ono evening, at least, in each week ho set apart for consultation, and preparation to organize for the fall campaign. By these meetings at which some one or more will always speak, or at least talk over tho condition of tho country, you will be able to learn what your political enemies are about, where they hold their secret, oath- bound conclaves, and also what false rumors or open lies they spread abroad fur tho pur pose of catching tho unwary. ■ When y-ou thus ascertain what is going.on, you will be able to meet and counteract it. You will bo able to ascertain the amount of reading matter furnished your townships, and compare notes as to its value and relia bility. Such mootings, interviews and inter course, will inspire confidence ami give strength to youV efforts, aud,-efficiency to your work. ' Do Tooqueville, in bis very elaborate and remarkable book, on American-Democracy, gives the'division of',political' organisations iiito these small neighborhood towns or townships,.as ono of his reasons, not only for the successful struggle of the American peo ple in establishing a. free constitutional gov ernment,'but its-strict preservation up to the time ho traveled through this country and wrote his-book. They teach people lo practice their rights as a free people,.as in common schools, pre paratory to largo and more extended labors in tho political vineyard. They Vote by .townships or districts in their largest elec- tions as well as in their more, immediate and bomb .concerns. They thus learn and feel the importance of self-reliance ; and to these nurseries of flcomen must wo look la the last •esort. and fall back on them as upon firs' principles. Let no. township, therefore, think itself of too small consequences to en gage in so great a work—let no individual of a township, or even a school district, a still more confined political division, think himself of too little consequence in this great last contest for freedom to act his part, and act it well. Neither has ho any time to lose or -to slumber. He can at least walk over of an evening, a quiet balmy spring or summer evening, to his neighbor, with whom he can hold friendly and patriotic intercourse, and talk over these matters, ami then seek out a third and a fourth, until tho whole township gets together and publicly organizes, Ono hundred aud seventy thousand voters, (in Pennsylvania two hundred and twenty five thousand) sound, sensible, constitution loving men, whoso heads are right, .and loarts sound to the cere, in perpetual motion, lotormihed do maintain their liberties and their personal rights under tho constitution and law, plainly and devotedly oxpressmg their opinions, keeping always tho order and character of their great truth in strict discipline and subordination- to everything just, and in accordance with our free' insti tutions, and their fortified power will'bo im pregnable, anil their influence a complete ruuucs, when combined as a. whole throughout this state or any other state. ■ = .Von of-tlio farms and the workshops, to yon, all ..must look for the sal ration 'of our country anti the white man’s liberties." To you all eyes are turned. Wo look not up to those who have blossomed, and ripened,.and mildewed in tho sunshine of popular favor, matured, nurtured and made prominent by your confiding virtue. While here and there wo see one bright star glimmering tnmngh the misty firmament, as beacon lights hoek- Oiling ns on to-safety and honor, a thousand have disappeared tu. await a clear sky and a calmer sea. Wb mast, .therefore, fall back on tho oarsmen and the jaboving/hnnds, anil from which we never should hacc departed. We. shall, therefore, not only gain strength at tlie poilsMiiit secure -virtue, without which suc- cess is a more show without substance, dlri map a without ridory. ■ Wo need not anticipate what our political opponents are going to do—we have but'to take them at, their word, and accept tlioir ac tions as a sufficient proof of their designs, Those are enough—they fill the rocordiT'of legislative hudios—they stand rivited on the leaves of tlie statute books, and all time ami all history will attest the truthful record of their iniquities. Freemen of the Townships! road, ponder and net wisely, Hint generations yet unborn may bless you. “ Act well yuur-part ; there all the honor lies.” The League Fizzle,— The Herald attempts to account for tlie slim attendance at the last meeting of tlie Carlisle disloyal Longue by saying that it was on account of a misunder standing about tlie hour, of meeting. This is a naked falsehood. The Leaguehas the same hour for all its carousals, and the call for the meeting-in question was published the same ns tho preceding meetings had been. False hood, therefore, will u»t answer as an apolo gy fur tlie fizzle.' The fact is the “ abolition league” is a failure. It was a'second Know Nothing,.Wide Awake or no party bantling, but was moonstruck in its swuddeling clothes, and is -last dying hmidst loathing and dis gust. Its first audible utterance was “ Cop perhead ’ and its last will bo appeals to grnnnyOiiEELV for help. It was pointed to as tlie babe in the manger, but tlie shepherds did not come. The old game of enticing ■Democrats was tried, but the people have seen enough of-tho clap-trap and shallow pre tentions of its originators ; they have tested their humbugs, and are now reaping the dread realities of their intrigues. It has notiiing to recommend it but proscription, big otry and violence. Its prominent friends are tho old abolition agitators, tlie advocates of a “ higher law than tlie Constitution,” and the “ irrepressible conflict." Tho endorsers of tho infamous Heli-er book and tho instiga tors of the mobs of tho past two years are al so in tho ring. Stevens and most of their lenders hnvo openly advocated violations of the Constitution, nnd oven the doctrine of setting it aside altogether. Let all lovers of liberty, law and constitutional government continue indignantly to spurn these new in trigues of -a destructive faction, nnd labor diligently for tho good old principle nnd good old policy of tlie past.

That ho is thoroughly informed on all matters of Gov ernment policy, and especially conversant with the intricacies of tho Tariff, that he is a very handsome mam a very refined man, a, thoroughly .educated wan, and has hud all, the training requisite for a successor of Washington and Madison iu the Executive chair. "Wo hold, also, that the aforementioned Lincoln is 1 honest,’ and that his Adminis tration is distinguished for tho integrity of ail its members and their appointees; that Welles never gave fat-con tracts to Morgan ; that Cameron never dabbled in frauds ; that Tucker never made money outof transports; that Fremont never speculated in Austrian muskets; that Seward and Stanton violated no law in making arrests; that tho Constitu- tion required Blair to exclude Democratic papers from, tho mails, and that Chase is sincere, frank and manly in his conduct.; ‘ wearing his heart on his sleeve ;’ never saying one thing and meaning another - and, withal, a pure’national patriots holding him self above all sectional prejudices. “ Wo hold, moreover, that tho conduct .of the war has boon marked by a brilliant sc ries of tho most wonderful victories, except li few instances, of disaster,.caused by-such copperheads as.

But the President of the United States cannot tell us to -put down party when ho is entirely partizan himself, Tho ostrich, who sticks his.head in the ground, with all tho rest of him exposed, makes a much more effectual concealment of himself than the President of the United States, who tells you you must not have any party and yet appoints soveraT thousand tax.assossoro and commissioners all: oyer tho United .States, exclusively.of one po litical party;.who. finds'it necessary to arrest and incarcerate democrats.

[Great .dud continued laughter.] A Foreign Wr.w of Loval- Leagues. —Tlio truth of the’ classic statement, that it is jjtmetimes-good and wholesome to learn of an enemy, is illustrated in the following com ments of the New York eorrespondi/ht of the London Times on the Union Square Loyal League mooting, which he describes in the columns of that journal: If the pain? and interests engendered and fostered by this cruel and illogical war had nut blinded the eyes, of Americans to. the dangers to which thcir liboi-ticH lire, exposed by its continuance, they blight have seen- by the multiplicity of 'banners' and "placards hearing the words-*-* Unconditional Loyalty,” hdw low they' have fallen from.their once high estate.

Unconditional loyalty is more than the lilts sians give to their Gzar,or the Turks to then Sultan, and.has never been yielded to King Or Government by. any people speaking the English language since the days of Henry VIII.. Is it not strange as-, well a?-humiliating that such a.doctrino should first bo board of in the English language in a, republic founded by- Englishmen'! And should it hot load modern Americana to inquire whether it re ally, had its.- origin among nien of .British blood and lineage, or whether it is due to the Celtic, Teutonic, or other alien races that have adopted .the English , language without adopting the English liberty of thought,that should-accompany it? Whateve’r may be the reason, it is hub creditable that a doctrine so long ago buried and forgotten in civilized 'Europe should ho exhumed in America, un der the leadership of fanatics upon the one hand, and of selfish traders making unholy fortunes out of the war, upon the other. The fact reniains, however, that the liberty of the Americans is rapidly slipping out of their grasp;-and while they avow a sentiment so slavish, not to a King or Emperor claiming, to rule by Divine right, but to a fetish of their own malting, such as Mr. Lincoln, it is scarcely surprising that military men should bo ready to lake them at their word, and to prepare means for their final subjugation and reduction to that slate of thraldom to which they would . subject their- brothers of the. South. [C7” A Boston correspondent of the Spring field Republican dilates with enthusiasm upon the oratorical abilities of tho now Abo-' lition stump speaker, Miss Annie Dickinson. After speaking of her “ culture,” ability* beauty, and .good services in tho Connecticut and New Hampshire campaigns, ho exclaims in a tone of exultant ardor : “ Why not make Miss. Dickinson the next President ?” The suggestion is eminently appropriate. Aparty that once supported Fremont for tho Chief Magistracy of tho Union ; which has such, a biiny ns Sumner for its leader ; which keeps granny Stanton at the head of the War Department; and has filled the. load ng offices of tho country with the imbeciles, vuujd fitly cap 'the climax of its career by laminating Miss Dickinson as its next can- didate for President. They should do,so by, all moans. It would bo the right woman in tho riglit place. There seems to bo no doubt that tho Administration intends to enforce tho con scription.

All such oases will toll in their favor in the.next election. When they have control of jthe government, in 1864, they can take Wendell Phillips, Greeley and a few other fanatics, and hang them higher than Hainan, under the very laws which tho fanat ics themselves have passed.—A r . Y. Herald. Day Weather.--, -After the ten days rain some time since, tho weatbor'iia now exceed ingly dry. The Democracy lo bo Pat Down. A Western paper says: “ In consequence of Gon. Hasoall’s milita ry order, and the fact that.no 'sort of fair play is to bo allowed in the coming munici pal election of Indianapolis, Ind„ the Demo crats there have withdrawn all their candi dates, oven for the schools. Nut a Democrat will consent to be a candidate. Decry Hepnb lican candidate, even down as low as for. ike dog pound, icilt therefore be elected." But in those places where the Democracy are not likely to surrender their rights so tiviuely, and suffer the 'elections to go against them by default, military force is to to bo em ployed to suppress them, as will bo seen by the following bit of intelligence : ■ , ■ A largo party of leading Union Leaguers of Philadelphia, headed by Morton McMicha ol and Ex-Mayor Gilpin, arrived bore to-day. Senators Wade and Chandler and Colonel Forney are their invited guests. It is sup posed that steps are to bo initiated whereby home forces shall bo organized under gov ernment-auspices to repress disloyal demon strations hud organizations in the North.— Philadelphia baa already moved in this matter.— Washington Correspondence of N. Y. Herald, 1 -Uh last. Confirmatory of all this, the Harrisburg Telegraph, another seditions, 'Jacobinical press, thus helps to foment the impeding civil war in the North ■ “We sincerely hope that the example of the loyal mon in Philadelphia, will be emu lated by the. people all over the. Common wealth and by every loyal State in.the Union. Lot it be plainly understood, that the organ l . ization is practically intended to put down treason in the loyal. States. If it is right to pursue and shoot a,traitor in the rebellious States, it is also right to visit the same pun ishment on the same devils in the loyal States. Let us organize, then, everywhere.. Lot us show to the Government that it will be sustained and strengthened. Lol’us prove, too, to traitors that they will be resisted and. putdown.” Well,-if the conservative people of the North—the Democracy—are to ho .'driven to arms in defence of their constitutional liber ties, lot the strife come, and-the sooner the bettor. Yalluntliiisliam—The Dry Turiugns, etc, The following very important paragraph appears in the .Washington. Chronicle,. (semi- 1 official) : : “ We understand that the members of the Oonrt Martial-which has been trying C. L. at Cincinnati, Ohio, have agreed on a verdict, and submitted it to Gen. Burnside lobe approved, or disapproved by him. The majority of. the Court, we-learn, have sentenced Mr. Vallandinyhdtn to the Dry Tortnyas for two years. The minority, it is said, were in favor of sending-him South, with the injunction not .to return until the war is over." ■ I'he Dry TOrtugas is the American Botany Bay, and a. more cruel, or more atrocious “ sentence” than this could hot bo rendered.

I, don’t like them—they won’t endorse my Emanci pation policy ; but, Captain, ns you have suffered from hard service, and seem to be se rious, I would say to you, go home to your district and identify yourself with pur party, and then I may be able to do something.,fqr von Captain —“ Mr. President, I havo -learned for the first tinio that you are .carrying on this war for the .benefit of the detested Abo lition party ; and as lam opposed to all ene mies of my country, .1 withdraw my appli cation.
